tight.
- Pretension tools and rear subframe mounting -1- via nut -
T10205/8-2- -U-.

Continued
- Screw nut - T10205/8-2- -U- onto thrust piece - T10205/13-
-W- until it is flush.
Important
- Guide of nut - T10205/8-2- -U- must be seated in thrust
piece - T10205/13- -W-.

- Align tools again, and tighten nut - T10205/8-2- -U-.
- Connect foot pump - VAS 6179- to hydraulic cylinder - VAS
6178- -V-.
CAUTION

- When pressing out, make sure that a second person holds
the tool to prevent it from falling down.
- Operate foot pump - VAS 6179- , and press out rear subframe
mounting with hydraulic cylinder - VAS 6178-
Installing
Install in reverse order of removal, observing the following:
- Position thrust piece - T10620/9- -E- with collar side on subframe
-2-.
- Fit rear subframe mounting -1- to subframe -2-.
- Screw spindle - T10620/11- -B- into thrust piece - T10620/9-
-E-.

- Align rear subframe mounting -1- relative to subframe -2- as
indicated by lines.
Important
- Make sure that mounting for anti-roll bar -4- and edges
-arrow- of rear subframe mounting -1- are aligned parallel
to each other.

- Make sure that thrust piece - T10620/9- -E- is seated correctly
at edge of subframe -2-.
- Push thrust piece - T10620/10- -F- onto spindle -
T10620/11- -B-.
- Fit thrust piece - T10620/10- -F- to cover -3-.

Important
- Long side of cover -3- must run parallel with direction of
travel.
